I agree that Deck had dropped amazing versed during his career but he has done so only sporadically and Deck lacks a key element in MCing...charisma. Deck is an amazing technician on the MIC but I feel that he lacks a little bit.

and that's just talking career-wise. if we're talkin about if we were to put these "all-time greats" in a room to cipher and see who gets off, I'd definitely sponsor Deck (at least, I'd put SOME cash on him to place, not win) but there are too many others (imo) that kill it consistently in all categories.

I mean, the list goes on of MC's I'd say were all-time greats before I hit Deck.

<---and that's my nickel.

Deck's a legend but he isn't touching Qwel lyrically no matter from which period it is from.

who is this "Qwel" you speak of? is he some white MC you made up just to throw in the convo?

Thinks a Deck clone could be better than the original GOD from Shaolin.

but yeah deck is absolutely an alltime great. dude has way too many classic verses to not be one.

people who say no will note his album catalog. go listen to any of his albums and tell me deck aint spittin lava. forget the beats, LISTEN TO THE BARS! decks ability to flow to a beat is absurdly underrated. dude can ride a beat as well as anyone. i dont think i have to talk about his lyrical content.

check out how he bounces on "the road" or on "blast off" or "iron flag". just a few examples.
